veecon 2022

Want to know what happened at #veecon 2022? We've got the post-trip report right here.

In Episode #300 (which we forgot to celebrate) of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: Gary Vee's influencer/NFT conference, Juan's couple of first days in LA, a breakdown of each individual day, why the quantity of networking was probably too much, meeting some idols and cool people, whether he would go again next year and learnings he took away from the actual talks.

A huge thanks to Petar the Slav & Dave Jones for helping to support this podcast!

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
